There are not many blogs out there dedicated to cooking on a pellet smoker. I have been cooking, grilling & smoking over 35 yrs now. I recently bought a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet smoker & have cooked on it over six yrs. now. I would like to share recipes & info I have gained from cooking on it.
Update 2014: I have plenty of recipes here for the pellet smoker so I am now including other outdoor cooking and some of my indoor cooking too.

Jowl Bacon, Grits, Red Eye Gravy and Eggs

Feb 09 2015

I had saved 3 thick slices of the jowl bacon to fry for a
breakfast. I can’t remember the last time I had red eye gravy. It’s usually
made after frying ham but thought the jowl bacon would do. I made a small batch
of stone ground grits, fried the bacon and made the red eye gravy. I had the
eggs frying and made the gravy with some black coffee and a little coca cola.

This was my lunch today, and tasted great. I had saved one
piece of the bacon for my wife but it disappeared while I was ridding up the
dishes! She went to a movie and will never know!

I had planned to go get a slab of ribs to do tomorrow on my
Traeger with the new SS v3 controller. I wanted to do a longer cook with it. It
said sunny and 27 deg.; cold but I don’t need to stay out much. I took a second
look and it said a chill factor of zero. I chickened out so looks like it will
be next week before I get back out on my smoker; supposed to be cold all week.

About Me

I started cooking when our children were in highschool & my wife worked.I was layed off during the summer & just kinda took over the kitchen & my wife does most all the cleanup. We are both retired now. I am a recipe hound, love to try new things. I suppose my cooking methods have evolved from Mid West Ohio, Southern, Soul, Cajun, Creole, & German, all of which I love.
